Corus Entertainment on Monday announced Peacock’s new comedy series Dig starring Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) and Hugh Laurie (House) will premiere Nov. 23 on Showcase and StackTV.
Airing Mondays with back-to-back episodes at 9 and 9:30 p.m. ET, Dig follows a team of dedicated archaeologists and less-dedicated college students who spend their summer working on a dig site in Greece. Their discovery of a rare artifact sends them on the adventure of a lifetime.
Adapted from author Kate Myers’s best-selling novel Excavations, the series also stars Geraldine Viswanathan (Thunderbolts*), Antonia Thomas (The Good Doctor) and Fina Strazza (Fear Street: Prom Queen). The guest cast will include Kayvan Novak, Jon Pointing and Bonita Friedericy.
Dig is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, Fremulon, Paper Kite, Duck Duck Films, Dunshire, 3 Arts, and Ocean Avenue.
Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and J.J. Philbin (Only Murders in the Building) are executive producers and co-showrunners for Dig. Additional executive producers include Amy Poehler, Morgan Sackett, Dean Holland, Kate Arend and Jordan Grief for Paper Kite, Dave Becky and David Miner for 3 Arts, and Sharon Jackson for Ocean Avenue.
